“Paz did an absolutely wonderful job watching our three pups! They were very comfortable with her. She sent lots of photos and updates. We highly recommend her, and would use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Carol has taken care of our dog, Teddy, several times now, and she is always reliable, trustworthy, punctual, thoughtful, and caring. We are very thankful to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!”
“Lisa was amazing with Panda! I booked her with less than a week’s notice, and she was incredibly responsive and professional from the start. She took the time to do both a virtual meet-and-greet and an in-person visit beforehand to make sure she and Panda were a good fit and that she was familiar with everything. During the sitting, she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She also made sure Panda got plenty of activity, taking him on at least three walks. I would absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter—I’d definitely book with her again! 🐾”
“Kai and Devon were great pet sitters for us during the week that we were away on vacation! They communicated well with us and provided updates on how our pets were doing. They kept our house clean and even took the time to wash sheets, towels, and blankets before they left. Overall they did a great job for us and we would definitely book them again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since grade school and truly can’t remember a time without pets in my life. I grew up with two dogs, Bailey and Shakespeare, a cat named Tooka, and a rotating cast of birds, fish, hermit crabs, and other small chaos-makers. I’m very comfortable with all kinds of pets, personalities, and quirks. 😊 For over a decade, I’ve been my sister’s go-to pet sitter, and more recently I spent three years in Southern Vermont house and pet sitting, caring for homes and animals of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. As a seasoned thru hiker and outdoor enthusiast, I love taking pups for long walks and soaking up the sun. I’m quick to respond, reliable, and responsible. I also genuinely love hanging out with animals and making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and a bit spoiled while you’re away. I recently returned home from New Zealand, where I spent four months thru-hiking the length of the country. I’m now back in the suburbs of Philadelphia working as a substitute teacher. I’m an early riser and usually wrap up with work around 2:30pm. That schedule gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I’m available for morning feedings and walks, afternoon check-ins after school, and evening visits as needed. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent, calm, and comfortable while you’re away. Please share your pet’s routine, preferences, and any specific care instructions. I’m happy to follow them closely. I’m flexible and committed to caring for your pets in a way that matches how you would care for them, so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you’re away.
“Cole was spectacular with our older basset hounds. He was able to get both of them on walks (not easy with one being a little grumpy with new people). Both dogs while happy to see us, didn’t seem like they had been stressed while we were away- a big improvement for us! Cole also kept our home on great order, dealt with a clogged sink, and even watered my plants (without me asking!). We can’t wait to use him again for future times away- the boys seemed to enjoy his presence.”
“Kristen took great care of our two dogs for four days while we were out of town. She was punctual, courteous, communicative, and took excellent care of our home as well. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to having her watch our two pups again in the future.”
“Angela was very attentive to the pets and kept me informed with plenty of updates throughout the day. She was very polite and professional - I will certainly book her again in the future.”
“Raquel is a delight. She is warm and responsible. Listens carefully to all instructions for watching your beloved pet and follows through. I recommend her without reservation!!”
“Roxanne was great staying with my 2 dogs. Roxanne took very good care of them. They seemed to really like her. When we returned they were very happy. So sent updates and pictures. I really felt they were in good hands. Thanks!”
About: I’ve had the joy of taking care of many different dogs throughout my life. Growing up I owned my own dog, and over the years I’ve helped neighbors and friends with walking, feeding, and looking after their pets. I love spending time, playing with dogs, and making sure they feel safe and loved! I currently am a full-time student at Notre Dame of Maryland University, so I have classes in the morning and afternoon and am usually open on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule the best I can! When caring for a dog in a client’s home I always aim to respect and follow their rules and routines as closely as possible to keep their pets comfortable. I’ll make sure they have their food and water, have potty breaks, and some love and attention! I will also make sure the space is clean and will respect the home as if it were my own.
“We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages since I was 18 years old! I’m a cat owner of 4 years myself as well, and my kitty is my very best friend. As far as sitting, I have done mostly done overnight stays, but I have done pop ins and walking as well. I’ve sat for small dogs and large, puppies, kittens and elderly pups. I absolutely love spending time around and caring for animals. I do work part time, usually averaging about 5 shifts a week. I make my own schedule biweekly, and my shifts are generally no more than 5-6 hours, so my hours are extremely flexible depending on when I’m needed! I am all for play, walking, and unlimited pets when I dog/cat sit. I will pay careful attention when it comes to letting them out if there is a fenced yard, as well as to their collar and leash prior to taking them out on walks. A pet owners directions are very important to me as far as feeding/potty/medication times, and I take the responsibility of caring for any animal very seriously.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many kinds since I was a young child. I am reliable and tidy, and would love to help you out. I made a college professor who has a flexible schedule in the summertime and in the fall I will have afternoon and evenings available. I’d be happy to help with your pet. I would be happy to care for pets in other people’s homes. I’m very tidy and reliable. I have my own transportation and willing to do whatever the client needs.
Elwyn pet parents share their Rover experiences
Carol was by far the best sitter we have ever had and was an absolute angel by willingly taking our dog to the emergency vet and sitting with him for 4 hours on the last night of her stay. We were being overly cautious but following the recommendation of our vet to bring him in (not because of anything she did) and Carol was a great partner in this in making sure I was on the phone in the room and also providing necessary inputs. Throughout the trip, though, she was extremely communicative and extremely attentive to every one of our requests and following his routine. Brody is a very needy boy, but she handled him so well and provided excellent care. Could not recommend her enough and will be using her in the future!
From the very beginning of the process with Kai and Devon, we knew our two kitties were in good hands! They were very easy to communicate with and got every little detail worked out for our weekend away. We would absolutely recommend utilizing their services and will use them again for sure.
Lisa was amazing with Panda! I booked her with less than a week’s notice, and she was incredibly responsive and professional from the start. She took the time to do both a virtual meet-and-greet and an in-person visit beforehand to make sure she and Panda were a good fit and that she was familiar with everything. During the sitting, she kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She also made sure Panda got plenty of activity, taking him on at least three walks. I would absolutely recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter—I’d definitely book with her again! 🐾
We are so happy to have found Paige to watch our two girls, Gracie and Scout. Paige was wonderful with the girls, taking them on walks and cuddling in front of the tv, and kept us updated with texts and lots of pictures. It was such a good feeling to know our girls were safe and happy while we were away.
Julia is hands down the BEST dog walker/sitter out there! She really goes above and beyond. From finding alternative non-pavement activities for our dog on hot days to cleaning our house & leaving behind crocheted dog bandanas while dog sitting, Julia always leaves us feeling impressed. We felt so at ease leaving our dog in her care while on vacation, and received such consistent updates that we didn’t need to check in, not even once. We are so grateful we found her!
